<Verse 1>-> guitar 1 Am G Am Am Headed for Wyoming, in 1882, A woman, a team, and a wagon. G Am Gonna make our dreams come true. F G Am Settled in the foothills of the big horn mountain slope. G Am Life is sweet we lived on the meat, of the deer and the antelope Am G Am We cut house logs on the mountain, with the team we hauled 'em down Am G Am Peeled 'em and we stacked 'em up, plowed some bottom ground. F G Am Traded for some cattle, turned 'em out on the range Am G Am The skies were blue and we never knew...How things were gonna change <Chorus> F G Am Ole powder river, you're muddy and wide, F E How many men have died...upon your shores. F G Am When you brand a man a rustler, he's gotta take a side. F G Am There's no middle ground in this Johnson Country War. <Verse 2> Am G Well, the neighbors stopped by yesterday, while I was outside choppin’ Am wood. Am G Am And they filled me in on the local news, ain't none of it sounded good, F G Am Said, they'd been some cattle stealin', by some no count outlaw band. Am G Am We'd all been branded rustler's by the big ranchers of this land. Am G Am Well it was us against the cattlemen, and the years just made it worse. Am G First the drought, then the tough winter, Johnson County had been dealt Am a curse, F G Am Then their came the story about the two "dry gulch" attacks: Am G Am Ranger Jones and John Tisdale both been shot in the back <Chorus> Verse 3 Am G Am Then last night at supper time, riders stopped by chance. Am G Am They said cattleman and hired guns, just burned the Kaycee Ranch, F G Am Two men had died this mornin', shot down in the snow Am G Am Now the vigilante army was on the march to Buffalo Am G Am Well the county was in an uproar, an every man saddled up to ride Am G Am Caught the cattlemen at the TA Ranch, and surrounded all four sides F G Am We hailed the house with bullets and swore they were gonna pay Am G Am But the Calvary came across the plains, and once again saved the day <Bridge> Am G Am Well, they marched 'em off to Cheyenne, and no one went to jail Am G Am The cattlemen we're all turned loose, and the hired guns hit the trail F Em G Am And I guess the only justice, wasn't much to say the least (No Chord)-> Last winter me and mine ate mighty fine on the cattle baron's beef. <Chorus> F G Am There's no middle ground in this Johnson County War...
